Is it normal to be jealous of my younger brother?

We are both guys, I am 26 and and he is 17, but I am really jealous of him. He's taller, better looking, smarter, and more outgoing than me. He has a better sense of style and fashion than me and even has a better sense of humor. He also has a better body than me. I can't even begin to think how he can be so young and already so confident and assertive. And naturally he gets so much more female attention than I ever did at any age, which by itself would not have been a big deal, except for the fact that he seems so perfect especially compared to how much of a loser I am. I think as he was growing up he always looked up to me just because I was older, but now that he's mature enough, he realizes that I am a complete loser and therefore treats me like crap. I'm not saying he's always right but he often acts like my opinion doesn't matter and that I'm worthless and flat out disrespects me, but I guess that's what I deserve for being a loser.

    Seems like you got the short end of the stick, genetically speaking. I guess you can become a drug addict or an alcoholic and blame all your troubles in life on your brother, or you can grow up and make a life for yourself, with what you do have.

    This goes both ways, he is probably really bummed that his idol, his big brother, turns out to be a loser that dislikes him. Nice work.

    Your brother sounds sort of egotistical for rejecting your opinions like that, but you are a bit petty over this. Be proud you have such an awesome brother; he shares half your genes! I bet you've got a lot of qualities he doesn't have too. I used to feel jealous of my brother, but we talked about it, and I found out he was jealous of me as well, so we both decided to just feel really lucky and proud of being related to someone so awesome. If someone tells me they love my brother and that he's "so cool" I take it as a huge compliment now, and I think that's how they mean it too.

    Yeah.. I guess you should just go and slit your wrists and draw a Lion King prophecy on your wall about Simba while you patiently wait to bleed to death.
